Financial Aid

At Garrett College, we have made applying for financial aid easy. All it takes is one form --
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The FAFSA allows the Department of Education to determine how much your family can be expected to contribute
to your educational expenses. When you apply for financial aid, the amount you are awarded is based on the
difference between the cost of attending Garrett and this expected contribution.

Complete the FAFSA. You can fill out the application online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Enter Garrett’s school code (010014) on your FAFSA so that we will receive your information as soon as it is processed.

Submit your FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1 and by March 1st deadline for Maryland Grant money.

accept awards.
